<div>Hello all,</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks Lee for the offer to help identify pics. On the whole I just thought this new service from Google was interesting but so far not useful for the stull I was looking at. Who knows? It may improve. Sometimes I have a hard time identifying my geyser pics, but usually I can figure it out from the pictures before and after and my log books. My post was more just a heads up on the Google featrue and how effective it currently is. I mean, it it can't even identify Olf Faithful.....</div> <div> </div> <div>See ya in da park,</div> <div>Steve<br><br></div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 20, 2011 at 8:32 AM, SnowMoon Photography <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:janet@snowmoon.us">janet@snowmoon.us</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"><u></u> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">I'm not sure the two are aiming for the same results - I'm not very familiar with what Google's up to, but I use TinEye regularly. TinEye works to help find YOUR photo - the exact photo you ask it to find and variations on it and where it's being used on the internet - their <a href="http://blog.tineye.com/2008/06/25/everything-is-visual-introducing-the-tineye-mona-lisa-widget/" target="_blank">Mona Lisa Widget</a> shows this the best. So it might come up with similar eruptions if taken from a similar angle, but I use it regularly to check for places where my photos show up. Basically it's one way to help protect my copyright and to connect to those who are using my images appropriately.<br> <br>A note on copyright: If you want to protect your images, all you really need to do is to put © on your photos (alt + 0169) and your name - it gives limited protection. The best is to just register everything with the copyright office before you put it up anywhere - that gives your automatic copyright you get when releasing the shutter the teeth to really enforce it. If you prefer allowing use of your photos, use the Creative Commons licensing. Making your wishes clear helps everyone.

I had no luck at all with Yellowstone images. I tried four geysers; Churn, Castle, Beehive, and Old Faithful and it never matched up with any geyser at all. Then I tried a picture of Colonnade Falls. Google matched it with one waterfall picture, two pictures of galaxies, one picture of a dog, one picture of a rat, and a few other odds and ends. It looks like they have a few bugs to work out. </div> <div> </div> <div>Steve Eide</div> <p></p> <hr> _______________________________________________<br>Geysers mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu" target="_blank">Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</a><br><a href="https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers" target="_blank">https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</a></blockquote> <pre><fieldset></fieldset> _______________________________________________ Geysers mailing list <a href="mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu" target="_blank">Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</a> <a href="https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers" target="_blank">https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</a></pre></blockquote></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br> Geysers mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu">Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</a><br><a href="https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers" target="_blank">https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</a><br> </blockquote></div><br>
